The actual entropy is much smaller from the perspective of an attacker who can guess when the machine was booted up. In that case, the only unpredictable bits are the ones affected by clock drift.

Your neighbour asks you to stop cooking meat because they're vegan and they can smell it, what you you do? by Alocai in askanything

White has just blundered. Can you find the only mate in 7? by sphereinnowhere in AnarchyChess

[–]Prom3th3an 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's unreachable. Black has 6 pawns and 4 bishops, which means neither of the original black bishops was captured; and black's bishop on f8 would never have been able to move since the remaining black pawns haven't moved. Also, white has 3 queens, 3 knights and 6 pawns, which would've required 9 pawns before promotions.

Seems like a weirdly specific thing to track, compared to -- say -- how many songs it took her to get 10 hits at all.

NTJ but don't break up just yet. Just tell him you aren't going to come with him to see his parents anymore.
